We believe support for the community we serve is of utmost importance and what better way than to enable a dynamic individual like Patrick to run for charity.

Additionally, this charity helps families and individuals who deal with the hardships from the disorder.

"All runners who finish/complete the run receives a finishers medal (this is what I was holding). I finished 353 out of 9475, 42nd place in my division.
